Claim · model-written summary
A model including trophic competition and meristem behaviour reduced the RMSE of organogenesis simulations by a factor of nine relative to a thermal-time model.
VitisVerbatim
e0“particularly relevant for grapevine organogenesis”
e1“The model including relationships between trophic competition and meristem behaviour involved a decrease in the root mean squared error (RMSE) for the simulations of organogenesis by a factor nine compared with the thermal time-based model”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Method / resource Adding a water deficit effect on meristem behaviour to the trophic competition model reduced the RMSE of organogenesis simulations to a third.
- Association The rate of phytomer appearance was strongly affected by plant trophic status and soil water deficit.
- Mechanism The decrease in meristem activity under soil water depletion does not result from source/sink imbalances.
